About Baltimore
Baltimore is Maryland's largest city and one of the oldest port cities on the East Coast, set where the Patapsco River meets the Chesapeake Bay. It is a city of distinct neighborhoods, from the rowhouse blocks of East and West Baltimore to the waterfront streets around Fells Point and Canton, and it is known as "Charm City." Its harbor, its universities and hospitals, and Fort McHenry, where the battle that inspired "The Star-Spangled Banner" took place, all shape the city's identity.
Baltimore is also a majority-Black city, and neighborhood barbershops have long been part of everyday community life here: places to get a fresh cut, catch up with neighbors, and meet the same barber year after year. Shops are spread across the whole city, from Eastern Avenue and Belair Road to Park Avenue and Charles Street downtown, so there is usually one close to where you live or work.
This guide lists 11 Black-owned barber shops in Baltimore, MD. Each business is listed because its Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership. We summarize each shop's address, rating, accessibility details and booking style so you can compare them before you go.
Businesses are listed in no particular order.
Using This Guide
Baltimore has far more barbers than any single guide can cover, so treat this list as a starting point. Each listing here comes from a business whose Google Business Profile self-reports Black ownership; we do not verify ownership ourselves, and the order of the list is not a ranking.
Before you visit, confirm hours and booking policies directly with the shop, since they can change. For more detail on any business, open its profile from this page, where you can see its address, hours, amenities and website. If you know of a Black-owned barber shop in Baltimore that is missing, let us know through the report link on its page or the site's contact options.
